2008 TAKUMI H16 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2008 Takumi H16 is a 3-axis double-column bridge-type machining center produced by Takumi Seiki, a Taiwanese manufacturer specializing in high-speed bridge and gantry machining centers for mold, die, and large structural part production. The H16 is engineered for high-accuracy, high-speed cutting of large workpieces requiring the superior rigidity of a double-column design over conventional C-frame VMC architecture. The machine is built on a thermally stable cast-iron structure with an extremely rigid double-column and crossbeam supporting the high-speed spindle head, eliminating the cantilevered deflection that limits single-column machine accuracy at large table spans. The 63 x 51.2-inch worktable accommodates large mold plates, fixtures, and aerospace structural components, supporting up to 17,600 lbs of workpiece weight. Axis travels of 63 inches in X, 51.2 inches in Y, and 27.6 inches in Z provide a large working volume. The direct-drive high-speed spindle operates at up to 15,000 RPM with 24.8 HP, enabling high-speed milling of aluminum, graphite, and hardened steel. A 30-station automatic tool changer supports extended unattended programs. Fanuc CNC control delivers full G-code, high-speed look-ahead, and macro capability. At approximately 48,500 lbs, the H16 is a substantial large-format bridge mill suited to mold, die, and aerospace component production.
